<< Your score was 25 out of 30. That is an excellent score, you would have a very strong chance of passing the Mensa test and joining Mensa. >>



yah i bet i would...

 

[MrCodeDude]

89%.
I guessed on questions 8 and 9.. Got #9 correct and #8 wrong. Heh, and I'm only a Freshmen in High School.

Didn't cheat, 100%, w00p! been out of college for 8 years too. not bad for an old fart.

Since MrHelpfull was nice enough to help me with the Enermax question let me tell him that on a frictionless floor you woulddn't need to keep pushing a box. Just get it going and it would keep going forever. That's is an ideal situation where you discount all friction and figure the floor to be curved around the surface of the earth, no coreolis force complecating matters. An object in motion tends to stay in motion.

And if the box weighed millions of tons it would still slide effortlessly once you got it moving. You just wouldn't want to get between its motion and a hard place.

And I think in that ideal situation, we should discount air resistance, too. Is that right?

 

[bjc112]

67% i also guessed the last 2 partly becasue my short attention span, and casue i didnt really know

 

[PaNsyBoy8]

100% woo hoo hoo

 

[ImTyping]

100%. What was so hard about that?

 

[SubZeroX]

89%...damn it! Missed the 4th grade question about energy. This question is kinda retarded.

I skipped from 3rd grade to 5th...that probably explains why I missed this question.

 

[Atlantean]

100%, and this is a repost.

 

[Moonbeam]

vtquanh, I discounted air resistance in the word 'all' here----> That's is an ideal situation where you discount all friction....

It should have read-------> That's in an ideal situation where you discount all friction

 

[CStroman]

100%. There weren't any good biology questions on there, because I'm in 10th grade, and everybody in 10th grade at my school takes biology.

 

[Schlocemus]

<< 89%...marked the one about energy wrong in the 4th grade level...ha...woo >>



Yeah, I don't know what is up with that question! There are many possible answers to that!


For example, they both contain gravitational potential energy, which may be attributed to the Earth, but not necessarily --still that choice is not incorrect.
They both depend upon the Sun's light for formation. Without sun the plant would never grow, and without plants coal would never form.
The plant depends indirectly on heat from the Earth to sustain pathways for the food and nutrients in the rich soil environment. The heat is also a necessary component in forming the coal, along with pressure and dead plants.
Plants depend upon carbon dioxide to bind to Ribulose Bisphosphate Carboxylase in the Calvin Cycle of the light reactions (although an affinity for Oxygen is possible, but not probable). The coal too depends upon carbon dioxide in the air when it is being formed, otherwise there may be a different molecule in the air which would entirely prevent the bonding of Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Sulfur, etc...

 

[Kenazo]

dang it! only got 89% (1 wrong)

 

[Radiation]

Back to the friction question...you must split the problem up into horizontal and vertical components of the force. The gravity would factor in on the horiztonal component because it is a factor in the weight of the box (not the mass of the box). The coeffiecent of friction would be quite large for carpet, so it would be more of a contributing factor on moving the box since you should only push the box on the horizontal for proper motion. Pushing at an angle just means you are working against yourself and making it harder to overcome the friction. You should toss the vertical force components out when approaching that question.

Of course, you shouldn't need to break it down that far to get the right answer.

[Tanner]

100% WAHOOO FOR ME! since I've begun correspondence through another college I've not seen a 100% in a while some colleges are MUCH tougher than I thot

9 more credit hours 2 go! WAHOOO!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

[Radiation]

I miss the days of easy classes and bountiful 100%'s....good luck finishing up that degree..

[Kadarin]

100%... easy questions..

[CurtOien]

Thanks for taking our quiz. You answered 100% of the questions correctly.

 

[Phunktion]

100% and those were not tough questions they just took analysis deeper than a simple 'DUH' because while most know the principles they don't analyze each answer one by one till they are sure they are correct.. I'm shocked how low the numbers were..

BTW I got 28 out of 30 or something when I took that MENSA test.. that one was a worthy test but not much tougher than the crappier MSNBC one provided you think through your answers the same way I do..



I wonder if it's really worth it to bother with Mensa.. they are probably a bunch of egotistical nerds which I wouldn't want to be around.. As a very good friend once put it simply.. "you can learn a lot from a dumbass." in other words limiting yourself to learn and be around only those of exceptional intelligence will leave a huge lack of practical knowledge in the long run..
